Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is all one section and the previous question was just on 8-31. Okay. Anyway, my question is still the same. On page 8-31, the non-government organization residential care, the drug and alcohol programs and services related to addictions. There is a slight increase there and also there are increases for support workers, for addictions workers and so on. My question is: is the department making any sort of shift towards the addiction works on the land? That seems to be a real, real big item for the small communities. It’s pretty well a feeling among the addictions workers there that that would be something that might work best of all. A lot of people actually talk about that, and this is, I guess, the area where there could be huge benefits to it.
I had talked about this previously and made a Member’s statement. I talked about it maybe under another section, but here seems to be the appropriate time to maybe have the department look at making a shift away from what they’re doing and then putting more money into what they are doing and doing something different that will work, because what they’re doing really isn’t showing results. I’m not sure if the department keeps results on successes, like, for example, in treatment centres, people that go to treatment centres, like, are they successful and what determines success. Is it being sober for five years? Is it one year? Is it life and how do they know? I mean, all of those things, right? It’s a difficult thing to determine. What the people are seeing is that soon after the types of residential treatment, I suppose, that’s being offered to people in the small communities, they’re back to practising alcohol use again. I’m curious, I guess, in this area if there would be actually a shift away from the standard and into something that the communities want. Thank you.
